Great Lecture and you have a natural way of explaining the content to make it easy to understand. Thank you for showing the shortcuts. My question to you is... If one starts running out of time and you are not going to finish all the questions, I am assuming it is best to guess and just fill in the answers... does one answer choice (A, B, C, D) come up more often the another and is it better to guess all the same letter in hopes of getting a few more right.

@DominatetheGRE

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's best to guess if you're running out of time since there's no penalty for wrong answers. In terms of guessing, one answer choice isn't necessarily right more than others. However, there are definitely some guessing strategies that I cover in my course. They're question-type specific, however, so it's too much to go into here. I'm not saying that to be coy, it's just the way it is. As a general rule, though, you can almost always eliminate a few "eye catcher" wrong answer choices if you just use a little logic and common sense, and that will improve your guessing odds for sure!

Wish I found this during my GRE prep. I also made a GRE exam tip video regarding my experience. Hopefully it will be useful to some people :)

Good question. My comprehensive course is designed around a 7-week syllabus, and that assumes 6-10 hours of study time per week (watching my instructional videos, working practice problems, studying vocab, taking practice tests, etc.). But since everything is available on-demand, you can move through it more quickly or slowly as your schedule demands. I have students who cram my course in just a week or two, and others who stretch it out for months. If you have at least some time in your schedule now, I'd say get started with it. But waiting for summer is fine, too. Feel free to e-mail me at brett@dominatethegre.com if you'd like to discuss further. I'm looking forward to working with you!

There are a few things that worried me about taking the GRE. First, the vocabulary part scares me the most. English is my second language, so my vocabulary is not as strong as i would like it to be (reading and writing). Second, I get super nervous when it comes to taking tests in general. I get super nervous and I tend to second guess myself, etc. Also, I haven't taken Math in a long time so this video was a great refresher for me:). Thank you so much for sharing some tips, this video really helped a lot.

Thanks for the feedback. The good news is that a lot of what you're talking about is within your control. You can definitely add to your vocabulary between now and test day and learn (or relearn) all of the math tested on the GRE. As for overcoming your test anxiety, a lot of it goes to your mindset, your preparation, and your confidence. One of the main things I hear from students who go through my full course is that they have more confidence and thus aren't as nervous on test day. Anyway, good luck and let me know how else I can help!

I know this video is a few months old, but to answer your question...my biggest challenge when studying for the GRE is determining exactly what to study. Especially when it comes to verbal. Do I just study a bunch of random vocabulary words? And what strategies am I supposed to use to remember them all? Word problems are also a headache for me, but this video helped a lot. Thanks for sharing!

@DominatetheGRE

7 жыл бұрын

Glad the video helped! As for verbal, "yes," the more vocabulary words you can memorize between now and test day, the better. There's a free website called freerice.com that's a fun way to practice. But obviously you're still likely to encounter some words on test day, especially on harder sentences, that you've either never seen before or don't remember the exact definition for. That's where strategy comes in. There are some great ways to get right answers even if you don't know what some of the words mean, which I teach in my GRE verbal course: www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/full-verbal-course/. And of course reading a ton between now and test day will help you with RC as well.

As a strategy, you can just subtract 50 from 58. The difference in their speed is the only thing that matters, the 50mph they’re BOTH traveling at can just be reduced to zero. The question can be simplified to car B standing still at 28 miles ahead, and car A travels at +8mph, so just divide 28 miles by 8mph.

I have a question for you, how many hours per day or week do you recommend to prepare the GRE? I don't want to overload my brain and get tired before the test day. Thanks Shirley

@DominatetheGRE

What a great place to be from! I love all of Colombia, but I have particularly fond memories of Cartagena. There's nothing quite like eating fresh fish and fried plantains right on the beach :-) In terms of studying for the GRE, to give you an idea my Full GRE Course is designed around a 7-week study plan that assumes roughly 6-10 hours per week. Most of my students try to study an hour or two each day after work and then have a longer study session on the weekend. When you factor in all of the instructional videos + practice problems + practice tests, it's quite a bit to get through. That said, I focus on the highest-yield content and strategies so it's very efficient. I would think you should be able to fully prepare for the GRE in 50-75 hours depending on how quickly you pick things up. Your 2-month timeframe is perfect.

I took the GRE last week and am 10 pts shy of my goal score of 153 for my graduate program. I am going to try and re-take the test the end of September and apply. Can you help me raise this score?

My biggest struggle is knowing when to let go of a question. I can identify what is easy for me, but I have a hard time distinguishing what is medium from what is hard. Plus, having this time sense without looking at the clock every second.

@DominatetheGRE

3 жыл бұрын

Great realizations. A lot of that will come with taking full-length practice tests, especially developing the "internal clock" piece. Rather than worrying about the time on a question-by-question basis, take them in blocks of 5 questions. Check the clock only after completing the next 5 questions to see whether you're on pace, behind pace, or ahead of pace. That way you can go longer stretches fully focused on the questions without thinking about the clock.

Hello, this is truly helpful! thanks for sharing your videos :) Could you maybe make a video describing how to tackle GRE preparation if the test is in 3 weeks? E.g.

Good luck!

I've been taking prerequisite classes for the graduate program I want to go to while also studying for the GRE but the majority of my time went to making sure I got As in some difficult classes (which I did). I'm now 2 weeks out from my test date and am concerned that I'm not test ready in spite of covering all the material once over a long time period. The deadline for my first choice program is also in 2 weeks... other programs have deadlines that are up to 2 months out giving me more time to prepare for the GRE. All of the programs are highly competitive and the GRE will be a big factor for me. Should I try to cram in the next 2 weeks to make my first deadline or would you recommend changing my test date to give myself more time? FYI, my prerequisite classes are all calculus based so I'm definitely more confident with quant than verbal which I haven't looked at since October.

@DominatetheGRE

When is the last time you took a full-length computer-based GRE practice test? How did that go for you? A lot of progress can be made in just 2 weeks, certainly, but it partly depends on how far away you currently are from your target score. Also, while your calculus courses have almost certainly gotten your brain back thinking mathematically, realize that GRE math is a bit different -- not only isn't calculus tested on the GRE, but they also have "weird" question types like quantitative comparisons that force you to think about math differently. Those take a little bit of time to master. That's not to say you can't get ready in two weeks, but it'll take a concerted effort for sure. Feel free to send me an e-mail at brett@dominatethegre.com to discuss your situation further. And of course check out my comprehensive online GRE Quantitative Course that I think will really give you a fighting chance over the next two weeks, here: www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/full-quantitative-course/.

An easy place to start on the verbal side is by memorizing a bunch of "hard" vocabulary words, though there are also cool strategies you can learn to help you get right answers even if you don't know what certain words mean. As for the quant part, speed comes from pattern recognition, repetition, and the non-standard strategies that help you get right answers in less time.

Check out some of my other free videos here on KZread for additional math tips, especially Part 2 on the most important non-traditional math strategies, and then consider our Full GRE Quantitative Course if you really want to dust off those math cobwebs and make sure you learn absolutely everything you need for the math section of the GRE: www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/full-quantitative-course/. Good luck!

Great video. Question, Its been 14 years and now I am completely lost from where I need to start and what areas I need to focus to attempt GRE. Please guide me key areas to prepare for exam. Any guidance or recommendation will be highly appreciated.

Thanks, I'm glad you found this video helpful! If you sign up for one of my GRE prep courses (www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/), I provide you with a detailed syllabus that guides you through exactly which instructional videos to watch, which practice problems to do for homework, when to take full-length practice tests (and which ones), etc. So that's your best bet if you want a road map for preparing for the GRE, especially if it's been 14 years since you've seen some of this stuff! I'll take all of the guesswork out of it for you 😀.

How much time one needs to prepare is the main question I have. If you were advising someone who plans to take the test in four months, would you say that's not enough time? If it is, how much time per day or per week based on your experience? And how much time should be spent on content vs strategy?

@DominatetheGRE

6 жыл бұрын

Four months is plenty of time. To give you an idea, my Full GRE Prep Course is designed around a 7-week syllabus. That assumes approximately 6-10 hours per week of watching instructional videos, working practice problems, and taking full-length practice tests. My students often leave another week or two to keep working practice problems before taking the real thing. But 2-3 months (no more than 100 hours) should be sufficient to fully prepare for the GRE. As for the split between content and strategy, they're really sort of intertwined. What I mean by that is, when you're learning a specific topic -- motion problems, for example -- you start by learning any underlying formulas and/or methodologies, but then you also learn shortcuts and strategies for doing certain types of motion problems, including working backwards or making up numbers when appropriate. So you're sort of learning both at the same time, if that makes sense.

It comes down to pattern recognition from doing lots of practice problems while applying the strategies I teach for each of the different question types. You'll develop what I call a "Pavlovian response" where you immediately recognize how to proceed based on the type of question that pops up on your computer screen.

The answer to that is more than I can type here, but here are a couple thoughts. For the verbal section, obviously learning a lot of vocabulary will help. But there are also a lot of strategies and methodologies that will help you get right answers even if you don't know what some of the words mean, and on RC questions as well. For AWA, you need to learn how to effectively analyze arguments and spot the author's unstated assumptions so that you can attack them and suggest ways of strengthening them. I cover all of this in our Full GRE Verbal Course here: www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/full-verbal-course/. I'm looking forward to working with you!

This could be done in SUCH an easier way. The car will make up 8 miles every hour on the front car, since it is moving 8 miles per hour quicker than car b. We know that 20 miles separates each car. So... 20-8(1hr)= Car A is 12 miles behind 12-8(2hr) = Car A is 4 miles behind 4-8(3hr) = -4 (car A is now 4 miles ahead of B) -4 minus HALF of 8 (3.5hr) = -8 The car is now 8 miles ahead of B. The answer is 3.5 hrs. So. Much. Easier!

The scariest part is learning the content. When you get up to probability and stats, it gets really convoluded

It sounds like my comprehensive GRE game plan is exactly what you need. There's definitely a lot to learn, but as the old adage goes, you eat an elephant one bite at a time. Same too on the GRE, take it one step at a time!

To be honest, the most concerning part for me is the Verbal Reasoning. From what I've seen on practice tests that I've done, much of the vocabulary appears to be from a dialect of English that just simply isn't used anymore. Many of the words sound as if the test was written by Dr. Seuss. There doesn't really seem to be a way to "reason" or "deduce" your way to an answer, either--you either know the words or you don't.

@DominatetheGRE

6 жыл бұрын

Haha, we definitely don't use "big" GRE words in our everyday conversations any more. That said, I do see them often in my own reading, especially when I'm reading authors or journalists who [fortunately] still have an extensive vocabulary. There's a lot of nuance wrapped up in some of those big words, and it really helps to get meaning across. As for your second point, I teach a lot of strategies in my verbal course videos for helping you get right answers even when you don't know what a word means. A lot of it does come down to knowing the words, but you can definitely use clues in the rest of the sentence to figure out what type of word must go in the blank -- and eliminate some clearly wrong answer choices that at worst improves your guessing odds.

And then of course take lots of full-length practice tests so that you can hone your time management. You've got this! I'm here to help. We'd love to work with you.

The "mini" equations are DISTANCE equations, so what you want to add to each side are distances. Hence why we add 28 MILES to Car A's distance to equate the two. 50 represents a RATE, so it wouldn't make sense to add it to one of the Car's distances. Does that make more sense to you now?

Think about it this way. Which car is driving further? Car A is. Car A is driving 28 miles further than Car B, since it has to drive 20 miles just to catch up plus another 8 miles to go past him. So if I want to equate the two cars' distances, I need to add 28 to Car B's distance since currently it has driven 28 miles less than Car A. Put another way, let's pretend I've driven 100 miles (think of me as Car A) and you've driven 72 miles (think of you as Car B). Who's total do we need to add 28 to in order for our distances to be equal? Obviously yours.
